Hello,

I have students who require extra time (many also have the accommodation of a distraction-free testing place) take the quiz in our testing center before class, then come to class and "take" the quiz again with the class. Only the first quiz counts, of course. This way, I can keep the class on schedule, provide the accommodations for the students who need them, and preserve their privacy.

Hope that helps.

Another possibility would be to count only the first 66% of questions. This would give him double time.

Subject: Need advice on accommodating disability support requirements for test-taking

Hello,

Tomorrow I will commence my second semester of teaching Intro to IS, full-on TBL-style. Just this morning, however, a student who will be in one of my classes presented me with his Disability Support Services letter from my University requiring that I give him double time on tests and allow him to take his tests outside of the classroom environment.

This puts me in a huge bind. I cannot (nor do I wish to!) revamp my class in one day to accomodate this student's requirements. Has anyone encountered this situation before, and how did you (or do you think I should) handle the IRAT/TRAT situation in this context?

Thanks for any advice!
